    Question When do you open your Christmas gifts?

    Christmas Eve or Christmas morning.

    The kids open their gifts on Christmas morning.

    Christmas morning. I haul gifts and place them under the tree on Christmas Eve. I'm often still wrapping on Christmas Eve too. lol

    Christmas morning.
    BUT! We started a new tradition recently. We get the kids each some new funky jammies and they get to open that gift on Christmas Eve. I usually sneak a tiny toy/trinket in the jammies pockets. It serves two purposes. One they stop bugging us about presents lol. And two, they all look so cute in their new jammies on Christmas morning (& in the pictures/video!!)

    Always Christmas morning. We tried opening them up on Christmas eve and my brother and I felt so jipped when we got up in the morning and they were... all... open. Just not the same.

    It depends on which day I work. . . If I work Chrismtas Eve, then we open on Christmas morning, if I work Christmas Day, then we open on Christimas Eve.
